Demoulas visited the Market Basket warehouse in Tewksbury after speaking to a crowd of supporters Thursday morning. He struck a deal to buy the company and return as CEO on Wednesday night after a six week employee revolt.

Employees returned to work while customers flooded Market Basket stores on Thursday. Demoulas said it will take “seven-to ten days” for Market Basket stores to be up to full speed, but said the chain will “absolutely” be able to maintain it’s low prices.

“It’s in good hands here. These people are all well-experienced and they know their jobs very well and they do it with a lot of passion,” said Demoulas.

“In this company here it takes everybody to do their job with that passion and that enthusiasm to make sure we deliver the right product for the customer and the right shopping experience. This team knows how to do it very, very well.”
